TESTIMONIALS & ACCOLADES

“I approached Antoine Bandele on the suggestion of author Virgina McClain after three months of fruitlessly trying to find the right narrator for my book on another production platform, and the entire experience from the first inquiry email to receiving the final files was frictionless! Antoine found me the perfect narrator on the first try and was endlessly patient as he shepherded me through the production process. It was my very first audiobook and having a knowledgeable producer who was willing to explain everything as we went along was invaluable. I had a great experience, left with a great book, and can't wait to be able to come back for the sequel!”

—SCARLETT GALE, AUTHOR OF HIS SECRET ILLUMINATIONS

“This has to be the best performance of an audio book I have ever heard. From the emotional and steamy story, narration, music, and the sound effects it was all wonderful. I listened straight through to the end.”

“Working with Antoine on my audiobook was as seamless as one could hope. He provided a detailed schedule of deadlines and completed everything ahead of time. The finished product was the finest quality we've had the pleasure of publishing. Of course, working with Martin Martinez as the narrator was a big part, too. Martin delivered a masterful performance that truly brought the story to life in a way we could have only dreamed of. We'll absolutely work with this team again on future projects!”

Antoine's communications were always clear and patient, ready to explain each step so I understood exactly what I needed to do and what I would be receiving. From beginning to end, he was responsive and professional, and Nina's reading of the material was even better than I had imagined possible. I also appreciated the reasonable and transparent price tag for such high-quality work. Thank you, Antoine and Nina!”

—TANNI H, AUDIBLE REVIEW OF BY SEA & SKY

“This is my first audiobook and Antoine’s professionalism made the experience easy and fun. It was amazing to see my work come to life. His voice actors were spot on, and the sound effects added a tone to my story that no one else could have done. I suggest using Antoine for your audiobook production services.”

— ROYAL BANKS, author of ONE WAY

“This was my first time using AB Book Services and I will definitely be using them again. Prices WERE amazing, the narrator selection is fantastic and so talented, but what really sealed the deal for me is the constant and professional customer service. Antoine really goes above and beyond to get back to you with fast and efficient service and makes the entire process feel like a breeze. This was my first audiobook and to say that I was nervous would be an understatement, but after a single conversation with Antoine, you know that your book is in great hands. My finished product is incredible and I can't stop smiling. If you're looking to have your book baby turned into an audiobook then don't bother wasting your time looking any further. From one author to another, they will take care of you from start to finish and not gouge while doing it. I really could go on and on about this company. From the bottom of my heart, thank you AB Services for making my book audio dream become reality.”

I will be utilizing Antoine’s skills on every audio book I publish.”

"Antoine was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very professional, kind, and patient, and brought my audiobook to life with music and sound effects! I would definitely use his services again!"

— M. Ravenel, AUTHOR OF THE ARRANGEMENT

“As an author, it is extremely hard to find someone I can trust with my manuscript, especially when it comes to communication, price, product, and overall customer service. The writing process, from conception to completion, can be rough for an Indie author. So, finding AB Book Services was literally a godsend. I do not have to worry at all once my book is handed over to this company. I know it will be handled with care, support, patience, and quality.

I am also AuDHD, which adds another layer of communication difficulty when expressing my wants and needs. My thoughts can be all over the place, and I typically have a vague idea of what I want, often going, "you pull a rabbit out of a hat for me." With AB Book Services, they are master magicians and can pull more things out of their hats than I could ever imagine.

From affordable audiobooks and editing to formatting, quick email responses, and fast turnaround times, I truly feel that Antoine Bandele has my back, no matter what stage in the process I am in. I will definitely be using AB Book Services for more projects in the future.”

— E.A. Noble, AUTHOR OF WHEN BLOOD MEETS EARTH

"Working with AB Book Services has been a delight. The talented cast of narrators we hired for The Alchemy of Sorrow did an amazing job bringing our stories to life and we couldn't be more pleased with their performances. Antoine is very professional and did a great job communicating throughout the process. His engineering was great and when two rogue files needed a slight tweak to be uploaded to retailers he responded immediately and had them fixed before I could even finish uploading the remaining files. I will definitely be using AB Book Services again for future projects!"

— VIRGINIA McCLAIN, EDITOR & AUTHOR OF THE ALCHEMY OF SORROW

“It felt like I was a fly on the wall in a real clan, hearing the accent. I just loved [Aure Nash’s] inflection, emotion, everything that she brought to the narration.”

—YOGEEK, AUDIBLE REVIEW OF BOUND FOR YOU

“As a writer, it's my job to put it all on the page. In some ways that's very difficult, but in others it's rather easy. Got a pen and paper? Got a keyboard? If so, you can write! It's that simple. It takes someone special to breathe life into the words you write though, and I couldn't have asked for a better production company for my audiobook!”

—Matthew Chatman, author of A Servant’s Work and Grace Under Fire

“I can't get over the absolute QUALITY of this narration. This story (which is excellent on it own) is made INFINITELY BETTER by the narrator and the sound effects. Nekia Renee Martin, you have my heart.”

— FERNANDA WINCK, NETGALLEY REVIEWER

“The narrator, [NEKIA RENEE], did an excellent job reading in a tone that was easy to follow. Her narration of the dialogue was excellent, each voice unique and true to character.”

—HOLLY A, NETGALLEY REVIEW OF THE GATEKEEPER’S STAFF

“I was nervous about my first steps into the audiobook world. As a fairly new fantasy author, it felt intimidating. Antoine immediately put me at ease and helped me throughout the entire process. Julie, my narrator, was amazing in her work and performance. Antoine's editing was impeccable. It was an all-around fabulous experience with AB Book Services and I can't wait to come back for my next audiobook production.”

— SONYA LAWSON, AUTHOR OF IN DREAMS OF DRAGONS

“Amazing quality, professionalism, and talent. Antoine provides a top-notch service to indie authors!”

— Yessy Blue, AUTHOR OF The Garden of Shadows and Bones and The Hexen Bond

"I was amazed by the finished quality of the audio. When I listened to my files the first thought I had was that I had no idea my voice could sound so great! It was crystal clear, and it brought out the absolute best in my performance. I also loved the creative elements he brought to the project that just took it to the next level. I met with several different audio engineers, and Antoine was by far the best choice. If you are an audiobook narrator looking for an audio engineer then I highly recommend AB Book Services."

— ALI DANE, NARRATOR OF SOUL BOUND
